Indiana man gets 65 years for killing woman

A man whom a prosecutor called a "ruthless monster" has received a 65-year sentence for killing a woman whose body was set on fire along a city street.

Terry Rutledge, 25, was sentenced Monday in Delaware Circuit Court in Muncie. A jury convicted Rutledge last month of murder and obstruction of justice in the December 2011 asphyxiation death of his 40-year-old girlfriend, Tonia Ingram. Prosecutors say he killed Ingram at the home of another girlfriend.

Public defender Mark McKinney maintains the other woman killed Ingram.
